10 of Our Jet Set Bests

To all the jet-setters and go-getters out there, we have a few things we need to get off our chest; 1: we’re green with envy, 2: we wish you safe travels and 3: we have about 10 items that we insist you pack.

Words of wisdom when travelling: keep it functional! We don’t expect you to get off a 12-hour flight dressed to the nines with a face beat to perfection and heels so high you feel like you’re back in the air. No, we’re simply suggesting that you take heed of WHAT you should take with on your crusade. Narrowing down the functional faves from our checklist, this should be the foundation of any mini capsule suitcase.

Denim Jeans Please

Nothing is better than the perfect pair of denim jeans. Make sure that they're comfortable and fit well. / Getty

The shift dress is the quintessential addition to any fashion closet. We cannot possibly leave it at home when we decide to travel. Pair it with minimalistic earrings, your favourite sneakers and shades. / Getty

Probably the most important item of them all. We selected a backpack as our last travel must-have. It holds much more than an average-sized handbag and we love the burgundy leather; it’s a playfully designed bag in a classic shade and fabric. / Getty

One the days when you’re not feeling those pants, try a stretch jersey skirt that contours the silhouette of the body. Neutral in colour, it can be paired with virtually any top, blouse or shirt you have on hand. / Getty
